When Words Collide 2016 Saturday Banquet

Banquet tickets are sold out. Email info@whenwordscollide.org
to get on the waiting list for banquet cancellations and no-shows.

Please join our festival guests and organizers for a delicious
Steampunk themed buffet catered by the Delta Calgary South. This
year's banquet will take place on the Saturday evening of the festival
in the Bonavista Ballroom (Tower lower floor) with a Cash Bar open at
5 PM and dinner beginning at 5:30. Participants are welcome to dress
steampunk/Victorian for the occasion if they so choose.

If you are registered for the banquet and have dietary concerns
with the meal, please email us at info@whenwordscollide.org so that we can make alternate
arrangements with the caterers.

As dessert winds down at 6:30 PM, diners are welcome to stay for
the presentation of this year's National Speculative Fiction Awards,
the Auroras. Additional seating will also be available for those who
wish to attend the Awards and not the banquet.

The ballroom will close at 7:30 and reopen at 8 PM for the Mass
Autograph Session where our festival guests and 50+ attending authors
will be available to sign books. This event should run until around 10
PM and is open to the public. Readers not attending the festival may
drop by and get their books signed. The Cash Bar will remain open
throughout the evening.
